I wanted to tell you today about an Emmy nominated actress. She has been in the business for what seems like forever, but she is still young. She has done movies and television and is a great actress. Solid B+/A- list. Everyone knows her. Through one of her recent co-stars, she got involved with a group of people who help injured soldiers and their families. She met a group of injured soldiers who had lost limbs and heard they didn't have enough money to always get the bast prosthetic limbs. There was also the matter of transporting families to where the soldiers were hospitalized. Our actress not only has donated $2M to this cause, but also leased 10 apartments that are within walking distance of one of the hospitals where returning soldiers are sent. All of the apartments are fully furnished and each family is allowed to stay up to two months in the apartments free of charge so they can be close to their loved ones. As a new unit becomes vacant in the complex, she rents out another and has encouraged all her co-stars to help out. So far, they have done a tremendous amount and none of them have asked for or sought any publicity for their actions. She might not always look happy, but this actress, has definitely made me smile and now I know, I will never utter a bad word or slight about her again.

There was a reveal before about her husband trash talking Zac Efron behind his back at a party. Ever since then, I was a bit leery of Danes. Guilt by association and all that. But this reveal makes up for that. Very nice.

Very surprised. Stopped liking her awhile ago. I tend to think less of people when they cheat, especially with people who are already involved with someone. A friend recently reminded me that you can do something shity and still be kind in other areas of your life. I forget that. Good for her. The act itself, keeping it secret, makes it very genuine. The amount kind of knocks me out.

Leasing these apartments is such an inexpensive, yet desperately needed thing. Think about it, if an apartment costs $700/mo, that would be only $8400 a year! I point this out because it's something that different groups could do in different cities. Local churches or groups could band together, do a few fundraisers and pay that rent for a year.

It's so much more economically sound than say, a family coming to a city and living in a hotel or corporate apartment. The prices would be significantly higher on a family who probably have a mortgage back home; they may not be able to be there for their injured loved one. Being alone and going through rehabilitation will be much harder.

Times like this I wish I was rich, I'd love to rent a few for them myself! Such a great idea, so (relatively) inexpensive and easy!
